Managing your stress will help keep your cortisol levels balanced. This is important, as chronically elevated cortisol levels accelerates aging – most noticeable in those over 50.

CORTISOL FIGHTERS

There is a lot of talk about adrenal fatigue, collapsed adrenals, exhausted adrenals; but, even in my clinical practice based on patients with chronic disease – including plenty of chronic fatigue syndrome cases – it’s actually uncommon to find a patient with adrenal burn out. Most often, instead of finding patients with complete adrenal hormone deficiency, I find an array of adrenal hormone imbalances, with some patients tending towards abnormal adrenal diurnal cycles, and others with too much adrenal hormones, especially cortisol.

Today, I’m going to answer a question from Charlie that addresses how you know if you actually have a challenge with your adrenal glands.

“How do you know if you have adrenal difficulties (fatigue or burnout)?”

Take a look at the answer here…

Your question of the day: Have you ever had your hands get cold after eating a stimulant like chocolate, coffee or tea?

We found this tree with the word “Peru” carved into it last fall in Colorado. Think it’s a sign we should be here now?

I gave you some great recipes on Wednesday that showcased one of my favorite herbs – holy basil or tulsi.

I guess the altitude here in Peru has gotten to me, because now that I look back, I think it would have been better to explain holy basil and the adrenals first – then give you the recipes.

But I didn’t and today, I have a chance to redeem myself.

This is the amazing thing about a blog – you can always write more and clarify what you said without it being printed in 10,000 books.

So here we go, Holy Basil and Adrenals 201 (201, not 101, because you guys are an advanced bunch)…

Picture yourself here with a cup of hot holy basil chai. Talk about stress free…

As you know, I’ve been through my fair share of adrenal stress due to some of my ill-advised experiments.

Today, I’m going to share with you three simple recipes that use Holy Basil (or Tulsi – it’s the same!) that helped me get through my own adrenal challenges and helped me relieve stress and not feel so worn down all the time.

Sound good? I know it does.

The recipes that I’m about to list here are an amazing replacement for coffee, tea, chocolate or any other stimulant. Why? Because holy basil, like any good adaptogen, balances your endocrine system.

In my experience, this herb has helped me more than some of the others that come highly recommended for stress and adrenal issues.

Time here could help cool your adrenals…

Last night, I was with a friend who had been reading my last few newsletters…

She mentioned that the adrenal program we just released sounded great, but she was struggling with one thing.

She didn’t know what the adrenals were, or what they did.

When she said that I realized that maybe some of you didn’t know either.

So today’s newsletter, I’m going to share with you what the adrenals do (for beginners) and then share the most effective way to help rebuild them (for the experts and beginners!). I’m also going to address why coffee, cacao (chocolate) and green teas may not be so great for you.

Well, they could mean a lot of things, but maybe what I talk about in today’s show is what is happening to you…

Today I also talk about how to make ginger juice, adult and teenage acne and a few other things.

Take a watch…

A 8 foot copper statue of a bear. :-)

Go ahead and see the monster that put an inch long gouge in my head and made me a little woozy for today’s show.

I also address non-hereditary hair loss, what might be causing it and how to support your body to stop its progression.

PS. One way to eliminate information overload is to let someone else do the research for you. Just last month, we released “Renegade Water Secrets”–a program that explains many common concerns about water and what you can do to get the cleanest, purest water possible for your situation!
